After all, franchise star Nicolas Cage has been seeing something of a resurgence in his career lately. It also makes sense because the first two National Treasure films made a combined $800 million on a budget of only $230 million. As such, it’s a no-brainer that a third film is on the way. It’s only surprising that it’s taken this long for progress to start on the project. What is also surprising, however, is that it also appears Disney has plans…
